Ulrich von Bayrhoffer |
Gottfried von Litzmann |
1842 | 1951 | |||
Founded by the supporters of Ulrich von Bayrhoffers, the liberals supported anti-clericalism and Weranian nationalism. After the Easter Revolution the liberals moved to the right supporting rapprochment with the Church. In 1892 their left wing broke off leading to the liberals to form a coalition with the church. The liberal party would become a core component of centrist and right-wing coalitions in the early 20th century. The liberals often represented right-wing liberalism, although due to the rise of socialism and the decline of the radical party steadily moved to the far-right throughout its existence often embracing authoritarian tendencies. In 1951 they merged into the LDPO. | |||||||

Klemens Müller |

1842 | 1986 | |||
Initially the radicals were those who supported the reestablishment of a Weranian republic and were mainly made up of members of the Septemberists. The failed Easter Revolution led to a collapse of the republican movement in 1856, leading to the republican bloc in the Bundestag to be marginalised. The radical party was founded as the first organised political party in Werania representing radicals, liberals and republicans. The party led progressive governments from 1903-8 and 1911-13 but lost its pre-eminent position on the left after the rise of the socialist OSAI party due to the Great Collapse. The RP was a member of the popular front government of 1915-1918 but soon began to participate in various centre-left, centrist and right-wing governments. The foundation of the PMZ in the 1970's led to the radicals to decline in support and merge with the social democrats to form the SRPO in 1977. | |||||||

The Catholic Bloc led by priest Georg von Kupferblum who led ultramontane opposition to the Prince of Oppolzer. They would soon absorb the Legitimists and emerge as the main right-wing party in Werania, being the dominant political force in the first half of the 20th century participating in every cabinet from 1914 to 1950 aside a nine-moth interregnum from 1918 to 1919. The KSP maintained a national conservative right faction, a centrist faction and a left faction throughout its existence but after the Great War the right faction became ascendant leading the Fatherland Bloc. The KSP led Werania into the Valduvian-Weranian War and became associated with the Weranian defeat. Their left wing split off to form the Sotirian Democratic Party and they were heavily defeated in the 1950 election. The KSP merged into the LDPO. | |||||||
